For those who still don’t have GMail email account, you can get one yourself at the end of the page.

Wonderful features of GMail
Auto-save – NEW
We spent 20 minutes writing this entry, and then the browser crashed. Good thing there’s auto-save. It saves. Automatically.

Export contacts – NEW
Export your Gmail Contacts and save them in a file for back-up or to use in another account or service–great if you’re using Gmail’s free POP access.

More ways to access your Gmail account – NEW
It’s now easier than ever to get to Gmail: Go to your Inbox from any web page with one click from the Gmail-enabled Google Toolbar. See your new messages directly from your personalized Google.com homepage. And search for messages even when you’re offline using the new Google Desktop.

Google Talk
IM and make free calls through your computer with Google Talk. Your Gmail contacts are even pre-loaded.

Customized ‘From:’ addresses
Customize the address on your outgoing messages to display another one of your addresses instead.

An application for Macs
The Gmail Notifier for Mac OS X even supports plug-in development.

More languages
Now you can use Gmail in 38 languages: US and UK English, simplified and traditional Chinese, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tagalog, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese.

More storage
Storage is an important part of email, which is why Gmail now gives you over 2.5 gigabytes of free space (and growing every day)!

Rich text formatting
Use fonts, colors, highlighting and other rich formatting options when you compose messages.

An easier way to send up to 10MB of photos
Gmail now works with Picasa, Google’s free photo organizer, so you can easily send photos from your Gmail account.

Support for more browsers
Basic HTML view lets you access your Gmail messages from almost any computer running almost any web browser.

Free POP access and automatic forwarding
Access your mail the way you want to. Download your messages. Read them offline. Use your Blackberry or Outlook or any POP-enabled device. Or forward new messages to an email account you specify. You can even switch to other email services without having to worry about losing access to your messages. Think of it as email portability.

Import Contacts
Move all your contacts from Yahoo! Mail, Outlook, and others to Gmail in just a few clicks.

Signature options
From the settings page, create a signature that’s automatically added to the end of all your outgoing messages.

By the way, I still have no idea why it’s still called Beta when there are already so many features and GMail has been running for quite a while. It’s quite stable to me ;)
